Was that Horford actually trying to back his man down in the post?

Didn’t we just discuss the “inside-out” concept yesterday night?

BTW, Josh fires an airball from the wing with 14 seconds still left on the shotclock. I don’t wanna hear that end of the shotclock bullstuff. This guy needs to learn. I don’t care who his f’n coach is, you know you can’t shoot it at a high percentage from out there, so why do you waste f’n possessions.

And truthfully, I don’t give a FFFF if they beat the sixers by 50+ tonight. This team is what it is…

Blown out by Miami.
Blown out by the Bulls.
Can’t touch the Celtics.
Have lost to the Knicks twice in a row.

I think the Hawks are just not as gifted physically as they appear to be. They don’t have the strength to compete over a full season. So much criticism is directed at their mental condition, but what if it’s a conditioning issue? These guys aren’t young studs anymore.

It seems to that it is high time we addressed our needs as Hawks’ fans from a management perspective and an expectation level that is achievable for the long hurting Atlanta folks.Change may not always be great, but for our sake it is an imperative start, and it should begin with the General Manager Rick Sund.

The new GM should be tasked with these issues:
1. Making the Hawks fiscally sustainable in the short and long term. We can’t afford more Marvin William and JJ contracts.
2. Creating a plan/identity for this organization that should resonate from management to players, and to fans-something that the current PR department has failed to do.
3. Short term objectives- creating an identity, improved PR with the fan base and specifying a direction that the players, management and fans can see as a direction we are taking moving forward.
4. Long term goals-keeping us competitive for a long time by drafting well, and making trades for flexibilty. We cant afford to miss as bad as we have in the last 8 years. (6/7 times)
5.The Coach Dilemma: There are arguably 3 types of coaches; The Teacher style Coach-Hubie Brown, Doug Collins, Larry Brown.. (b) The motivator-Mike Woodson, Rick Carlisle, Avery Johnson.. (c) The Champion name-Greg Pop, Jerry Sloan, Doc Rivers and Phil Jackson… This team will probably benefit from a combo of (a) and (c), but I tend to lean on (a) for now because of cost and the teaching factor the Hawks need in order to establish an identity.(Hate him or love him-I am leaning towards Larry Brown and we can get him now for about 3-4 million )
6. Addressing the fan issue: We cannot circumvent this forever, the fact that Atlanta ranks as one of the NBA’s biggest fan T.V market and yet the local fan base at games is less than flattering must be addressed. Management must do a better PR job: 680 the Fan and 790 are supposed to be our local cradle for developing fan support (offering a platform for fan venting, reliable updates…e.t.c) These issues were brought up to Michael Cunningham on the AJC as the Hawks Beat writer during the trading deadline period last month-it is pathetic that our city has to rely on national media for better coverage on our team period.The Braves/Falcons Managers do their local runs regulary, but I cant remmeber hearing or watching Rick Sund, or maybe his status as persona non gran-ta to our hard core fans is another issue that change might address.

We have our hands full with Miami and Chicago’s future’s looking great, but we have some good things going forward, we just cannot afford to remain the same old Hawks. Last year we were arguably as close as we have ever been in a while to mirroring the Detroit team that beat the Lakers (4) Hall of Fame team.

A coach with GM experience would be a great start……Damn it, pay LB 4.5 million to play both GM/Coach, just hope he will stick around long enough for us to win it all and stay committed long enough after.

Looking at other box scores around the NBA, most coaches are going 10 deep in the second quarter. Our coach who is over his head is going with 7 deep. This team will beat a scrub team like the 76ers, but will get killed by Orlando in playoffs. I disagree with blowing up the team, we really need a good coach. I said that last year.

By the way, does anyone want to guess who is once again leading the team in field goal attempts? Let me just tell you, it’s, once again, Josh Smith. It seems like it’s tough to find a game (unless Josh was in foul trouble or it was a blowout) in which Josh doesn’t lead the team in attempts anymore. Personally, I think that’s a bad thing, but at least Josh has been efficient tonight.

Dennis Rodman was a 27th pick, Gilbert Arenas was a second round pick. If you can play then you can play and i am telling you I liked the way Jordan Crawford played with heart whenever he got into a game. Jordan will be a very good player in the NBA which will seal the deal on the Bibby/Hinrich trade being terrible for the Hawks.

At the start of the 4th quarter, the Hawks were leading 80-74.

The Hawks started the quarter with the following lineup: Kirk-Jamal-Marvin-Al-Zaza.

Within 2:15 of game time, the Sixers went on an 11-0 run and made it 85-80.

The Hawks and Sixers were even the rest of the way.

But yeah, Smoove’s D is overrated.

@ Bigdave – Its weird that our top 3 players never seem to have it going at the same time and its looking more and more like they really dont compliment each other. The teams that get to rolling there top 3 players usually get it going quite a few time a during the course of the year but ours seem to alternate

This team cannot play as the favorite but will play well as the underdog .. By the time the playoffs come around they will be considered to have no chance whatsoever and it will be come the old us vs the world and the jumpshots will fall for a couple of weeks

Isn’t it refreshing to see a coach like Doug Collins coach his guys the right way? Lou Williams and Thaddeus Young coming off the bench attacking. Doug kept telling them even when they were down to keep attacking and playing defense. Even with not much of a big to protect their rim they kept hustling and alas the results are a win!!

Why not us? Where was the bench tonight? Hinrich played almost the whole game and looked hurt at one point before the half. Josh and Marvin played hard all for not.

You need guys to play to develop a rotation, maybe Teague or Wilkins.

No one ever seems to answer this question. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen it posted before on one of the blogs here during the season. I guess the fact that people don’t answer means that L.D. is really the worst head coach in the NBA. It seems like no one outside of Kris Willis at Peachtree Hoops can even stand the guy anymore.

In his first season as a head coach, L.D. has accomplished absolutely nothing positive. However, he has managed to ruin anything that used to work. I guess that’s an accomplishment in his eyes.

It doesn’t matter how healthy this squad is, L.D. will still be on the sidelines. We could have the most promising young players that a coach could ever dream of and L.D. would just misuse them and we’d still lose. Unless we had someone with an alpha-dog personality like Kobe or MJ who would ignore what the coach said, and just do what they felt was right, we’d still lose. Our team is is lead by a spineless loser, and it’s rubbing off on a group of guys who are already soft to begin with.

The ony thing u all got in houston and worth in texas is Beyonce..Oops,didn’t she move to jersey?
Even beautiful B didn’t want to stay there for long,lmao!!

U have the cowboys who are pretenders.
And the only consistent team texas has(the spurs)have to go out the country to bring talent into that area because no one wants to live there..

ATL has history,MLK,Deion,CNN,Hartsfield Airport,UPS,cheaper gas(although it is high)..
And not only do we dominate in the rap game but in music as well..
I’ll even go pop with u and go with instate groups like the B-52’s,REM,Collective Soul,The Black Crows,38 Special(whew!! im going way back)

In rap and hip hop we got,Outkast,T.I.(who i know u hate),excape,lil john,Luda,Ciara,YIng Yang Twins,Mary J.Blige(she was born here yall),, Young Jeezy, Gucci Mane, D4L, Shawty Lo and OJ da Juiceman,TLC,Monica,Jagged Edge,Goodie Mob,Jermaine Dupri, Ciara, Janelle Monae, Cee-lo Green, Keri Hilson, The-Dream and Cherish, just to name a few..

And don’t forget the transplants like Babyface,Usher,Toni Braxton,T.O…We even had the Heavyweight Champion of Boxing one time in Evandor “Real Deal”Holyfield who is from Atlanta not a transplant..

U see how people come here,visit,and then they come back and buy homes..They don’t do that in Houston..

“@ Wabe… Check the stats! Know what you are saying before you say it.”

What stats are you referring to? If I recall correctly, we advanced to the 2nd round in Woody’s last two seasons. We found ourselves in back to back game 7’s in the 1st round in his last two seasons. We played the Heat in the 1st round and beat them in 7 – then we played Cleveland and got rocked. We played the Bucks in the first round the following year and beat them in 7 – then got rocked by a whopping 20+ ppg. Not even close to winning a game.

Not sure what stats you’re looking for. I didn’t even really have stats in my posts, so I’m not sure why you’re stat-checking me.

Over the last 21 games, or 29% of the season, the Hawks are:

7-14 .333 winning %

Only 6 teams have a worse winning % over the year.

We have been outscored by 6.9 points per game.

Only two teams have been outscored by more over the course of the year.

So for the last 29% of the season (21 games), we have been an early to mid lottery team.

Josh Smith is a total cancer to this team as long as he’s allowed to play and behave as LD is allowing him do do.

Don’t even remotely attempt to quote statistics in an effort to come to his defense. Please. Just don’t. If you do, you simply don’t get it. You’re not a mature basketball fan. Anyone who attends the games can see the life go out of this entire team as a result of Josh’s idiotic decisions as well as his all-around behavior and antics.

This is the same team that we’ve had the last three years. They have completely disintegrated! There are no injuries.

IT CANNOT POSSIBLY BE THE FAULT OF ANYONE OTHER THAN LARRY DREW. There is no other culprit or explanation left standing!

No ownership in professional sports, other than the ASG, would have allowed LD to coach another game after last night.

Ok a few things here. First can we being back Woody ( justing kidding )
The Hawks are a prime example of a coach who has lost his team. Who is listening to what LD is saying. This is NOT LD fault its the owners. You see all the other team making moves to get better over the last few years. And what do we do stick to the core and try to grow players. Look at who we had to grow Marvin,Al,Josh. Only Al has showed that he is a player every night. When things went wrong is with signing Marvin back,not trading Josh for Stoudemire, and resigning Joe. Keeping joe and having Stoudemire and Al that could work.If the Hawks lost to the magic by 25 ppg last year wait until this year.

The next game the “smoove” will play dummyball(He’s the dummy with the ball). I would hope that mamagement would tell LD to pack up and take his sorry ass on but the end of the season will suffice, as long as he goes and be Rick Sunds flunky somewhere else. Even with the lack of knowledge LD has the team should still be playing for the fans, afteral, who do they think pay their sorry asses.
